Many countries they sail to require vaccines and/or negative tests before visitors are allowed.

Royal supplies everything you need including paddles. At least they did on Odyssey

Depends on the day and time. I was on the Odyssey transatlantic cruise. Every "At sea" day, there was picketball in all 3 courts from 8am-10am then open sports play from 10am - 11am or 12noon which they left 1 or 2 courts open. When the ship was at ports, the times varied but there was picketball every day of the cruise. There were also a few afternoons they had 1 picketball court up

I have a coupon for buy one specialty restaurant, get one free. How does this work if you are cruising solo?

Until every person heads to the adults only area and it overfills...

I took the pictures 2 days ago from Independence

Navigating the channel in and out of New Orleans isn't so easy (Tampa and Baltimore have the same problem) If they do go back, it would probably be a smaller ship to start with

iPhones connect to iCloud and backup your phone on a pretty frequent basis (at least once a week) I just got a new iPhone, logged into my account then waited for everything to download to my new phone from the iCloud backup. It was pretty easy and all my pictures were there I'm not familiar with Google phones but I would imagine it's pretty similar

No. It's a one shot deal

There are still over 100 balconies available. Money they lost

With over 100 balconies available, why not wait and see until 2-3 days before the cruise to make a decision? By then they have a final count. They lost out on upgrade money from me. Maybe I'm being to logical

So I have an inside cabin with virtual balcony now and did the RoyalUp to balcony (minimum amount) it got declined even though I counted well over 100 balconies available to purchase now with less than 30 days to go. Makes no sense to me. I'm happy with with virtual balcony and confused why Royal would decline the balcony with so many free balcony cabins available

Look at the size of the people in the picture. That ball is about 100 feet round

How are you getting RoyalUp emails when it tells me I have to be withing 30 days

I'm pretty sure Royal is changing the plans now because it sails from the U.S. for 2 months then goes to Rome for the summer then back to U.S. so it seems more likely they will have some of the original plans to accommodate the U.S. market

The trademark office is very slow, I would be surprised if Royal gets it before the ship sails

Zone Zero doesn't use that much square footage. I circled the area used for it on Odyssey. They might be able to squeeze it in somewhere. If they do add it, I hope it's not same theme. It would be nice to see different themes on each ship

I booked this cruise the day it went on sale. Excited about doing my first inaugural sailing. I haven't seen anything in the way of sales for excursions or CocoCay. Maybe something good will come around on Black Friday/Cyber Monday for sales
